A nearly complete juvenile skull of the marsupial Sparassocynus derivatus from the Pliocene of Argentina, the affinities of “sparassocynids”, and the diversification of opossums (Marsupialia; Didelphimorphia; Didelphidae) (2019)
Journal Article

“Sparassocynids” are small, carnivorously-adapted marsupials known from the late
Miocene and Pliocene of South America, thought to be relatives of living didelphid
opossums but of otherwise uncertain phylogenetic relationships. Here, we describe a...

Host genetics and geography influence microbiome composition in the sponge Ircinia campana (2019)
Journal Article
Griffiths, S., Antwis, R., Lenzi, L., Lucaci, A., Behringer, D., Butler, M., & Preziosi, R. (2019). Host genetics and geography influence microbiome composition in the sponge Ircinia campana. Journal of Animal Ecology, 88(11), 1684-1695. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.13065

1.Marine sponges are host to large, diverse communities of microorganisms. These microbiomes are distinct among sponge species and from seawater bacterial communities, indicating a key role of host identity in shaping its resident microbial community...

Embryonic and fetal development of the collared peccary (Pecari tajacu) (2019)
Journal Article
Mayor, P., da Silva, G., Andrade, R., Monteiro, F., & Rocha El Bizri, H. (2019). Embryonic and fetal development of the collared peccary (Pecari tajacu). Animal Reproduction Science, 208, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anireprosci.2019.106123

The relative timing of the main fetal development events in species determine the extent of fetal development at birth, which range along a gradient of having altricial and precocial traits. The results from this study allow for description of import... Read More about Embryonic and fetal development of the collared peccary (Pecari tajacu).

A mathematical study is described to examine the concurrent influence of thermal radiation and thermal wall slip on
the dissipative magnetohydrodynamic electro-osmotic peristaltic propulsion of a viscous nano-liquid in an asymmetric
microchannel un... Read More about Thermal slip and radiative heat transfer effects on electro-osmotic magnetonanoliquid peristaltic propulsion through a microchannel.

Mitochondrial and ribosomal biogenesis are new hallmarks of stemness, oncometabolism and biomass accumulation in cancer : mito-stemness and ribo-stemness features (2019)
Journal Article
Peiris-Pagès, M., Ozsvari, B., Sotgia, F., & Lisanti, M. (2019). Mitochondrial and ribosomal biogenesis are new hallmarks of stemness, oncometabolism and biomass accumulation in cancer : mito-stemness and ribo-stemness features. Aging, 11(14), 4801-4835. https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.102054

Using proteomics analysis, we previously compared MCF7 breast cancer cells grown as 3D tumor spheres, with the same cell line grown as monolayers. Our results indicated that during 3D anchorage‐independent growth, the cellular machinery associated wi...

Business value of integrated BIM-based asset management (2019)
Journal Article
Munir, M., Kiviniemi, A., & Jones, S. (2019). Business value of integrated BIM-based asset management. Engineering, Construction and Architectural Management, 26(6), 1171-1191. https://doi.org/10.1108/ecam-03-2018-0105

Currently, building information modelling (BIM) is largely seen as a 3D model, not as an information model or information management tool. This wrong perception of BIM and low interest in 3D asset management (AM) is one of the major reasons for the s... Read More about Business value of integrated BIM-based asset management.

Identification and mapping of asphalt surface deterioration by tyre-pavement interaction noise measurement (2019)
Journal Article
Ramos Romero, C., Leon-Rios, P., Al-Hadithi, B., Sigcha, L., de Arcas, G., & Asensio, C. (2019). Identification and mapping of asphalt surface deterioration by tyre-pavement interaction noise measurement. Measurement, 146, 718-727. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.measurement.2019.06.034

This paper proposes a novel approach to detect the pavement surface deterioration using tyre/road noise produced from a sensorized test-vehicle during a regular driving. The acoustic data have shown to be relevant on automatic asphalt-damage classifi...
